Okay im gonna try this again but differently i suppose, when i come to these forums, i love to read the thoughts of everyone when its about posts like 'what is better' or 'what is a good option for ______' when they're posted. Frankly, it gives me hope that the game has more than just people who can only condescend to their peers. Though usually its the comment "pissing contest" over who is better at what, and finding ways try to prove 'im right, and im going to insult you to make a point, but im going to do it in an intelligent way to make it appear less rude' sort of postings. Anyway that thought aside, i still have hope, so i wanted to make a different sorta thread this time.
So here is the question, this is for everyone, what is it that drew you to red mage, and what would you like to receive for rdm? What do you think you would like redmage be able to do now, based on what it can do already, or what it cant do. We all play rdm in similar and different ways, so lets hear what you would like personally.
Personally i like rdm as it is in some ways, but i am a pro-melee rdm, and as such i LOVE the concept of a "buff-up melee" job, a job that is truly mediocre or sub-par but following the buff period becomes quite exceptional, again maybe not to the level of a true DD, but perhaps, maybe equal or superior, but with the understanding the rdm buff-up concept needs constant self maintenance to maintain its damage, which overtime wouldn't outshine the true DD jobs. Similarly id like to see buffs that provide similar functionality to things like enfeebles, nukes, and healing even. So in a sense, a very powerful, almost broken job, that can perform very well in a sprinting session, or just okay in a marathon situation. Either needing to pace themselves, or being allowed to just go all out over a brief period. Granted im almost certain this will not occur, but thats what id like.
I know im not getting a pony for Christmas, but its nice to at least ask!
